Heavy flooding has forced Toyota to temporarily halt 4 plants and Thai Airways to suspend cargo operations (planned through 6 October) after staff could not get to work. Bangkok was declared a disaster zone after 320 mm of rain in 3 days. The Meteorological Department expects more heavy rain on 5-8 October, mainly in the north and northeast, and the PM warns that floodwater from the north still threatens Bangkok, Pathum Thani and central provinces. Check delivery and shipping plans now, expect delays in service, retail, wholesale and construction, and keep stock of key items. Government says the water should recede within 2-3 days, but the risk window runs into next week.
